Current decarbonization policies neglect damages from local air pollutants. We analyze the trade-off between complementary taxation of carbon emissions and local air pollution. We quantify results for the European power market until 2050. Taxing only air pollution results in social cost of 5,890...

Current policies focus on reducing CO2 emissions, neglecting the existence and impact of other air pollutants such as NO2, NH3, NMVOC, PPM10, PPM2.5, and SO2. We devise a strategy to model those emissions and related social cost accounting for diverging social and private discount rates in an...
